Until Couch fully supports User Management and Review Ratings, I would like to implement a very simple workaround for now but need to know if this theory is ok...
I have a site with various videos that need public reviews, guests and registered users can watch and comment. I need a way to write to Couch's database, on every page that contains a video, and add ratings to it.
For example a visitor finds a video good, they click on "vote up", or "vote down" if they don't. Then that vote is stored in couch's database so as when the page is viewed next time (or immediately thanks to some JS code), it reflects the updated voting results.
I hope this makes sense?
